Is a large thyroid nodule a barrier to ablation? Not necessarily.

Medical literature supports ablation for selected thyroid nodules, including nodules around 4–5 cm. Ablation is also an established treatment option available in major Indian cities.

And importantly, surgery is not automatically required after ablation. Most nodules respond well, while a small percentage may recur and can sometimes be treated again with ablation.

If you’re looking for a non-surgical treatment option for a thyroid nodule, consult an experienced Interventional Radiologist to understand whether you’re a suitable candidate.

Artery vs Vein What's The Difference?

Arteries and veins may look similar, but they have very different roles in our body!

Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while veins return oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. Arteries usually don’t have valves, while veins do—and that’s why their pulse and location also differ.

Save this reel to remember the basics of blood circulation!

Piles Cream Won't Cure It!

Piles creams may reduce pain, but they may not treat the underlying cause. Early diagnosis and the right treatment can help prevent progression to advanced stages. Modern options like Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization may offer a minimally invasive approach for suitable patients. Don’t let embarrassment delay proper care—consult a specialist and treat the root cause.

Frozen Shoulder Exercises 90% Wrong-A Pannuvanga

Frozen shoulder pain 3+ months and still can't lift your arm overhead? 🩺

Most people do these exercises wrong, which is exactly why the pain isn't improving.

Dr. Ravindran, Interventional Radiologist in Chennai, breaks down the 3 best exercises for frozen shoulder — and the one mistake that cancels all three out.
✅ Pendulum swing
✅ Towel stretch
✅ Wall crawl

Frozen shoulder treatment doesn't always mean surgery. If exercises aren't working after 6-8 weeks, it could be a structural issue worth checking. Consult your nearest Interventional Radiologist for non surgical treatments for frozen shoulder.
